A new bottle of nail polish is a fun way to brighten your day. When you’re ready to try it, get out the petroleum jelly. Here’s why…

When you open a new bottle of nail polish, put a thin coat of petroleum jelly around the bottle’s neck to prevent it from sticking all the other times you’re going to use that polish.

How to have a neater manicure: Before you polish your nails, use a cotton swab to apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the skin around your nails. That way, any polish that misses your nails won’t stick to your skin.
